    Here's what we came up with on a Packard 289 with a dual 2brl intake and some early WW carbs. We purchased the filter elements and the outer caps(we opted for the no name caps for a cleaner look). We had to design and fab the housings and make the screens.
    I think they came out pretty good.

    The cover car looks to be running the same Nicson style (or similar). Screenshot_20230531_164028_Gallery.jpg

    Shovelhead, they were a little rusty when I got them so they must be vintage.

    IMG_0743.jpeg Air cleaner for a compressor count? Made this for a long gone compressor. Would have to make another for new compressor, and change inlet to larger size. Not sure if I will… IMG_0742.jpeg

    Most everything on this old truck is custom fabbed, the one thing always lacking was the air cleaner. So I decided a Ram Air set up would be the fix ! IMG_1257.JPG IMG_1245.JPG

    have 3 Nicson's on the 327 in the 55, they are a pretty neat little scoop/spark arrestor

    I will always love the louvered style, like original 56/57 Corvette dual quad units and then all the little 2bbl toppers.
